Framing/ what went wrong
Thanks for the replies guys, really helps build the confidence.
The framing issue was originally semi intentional, due to my lack of knowledge of the sky (particularly in regards to distance perceived through my ed80), I was hoping to capture what I now know as ngc1999 underneath. I thought it was a little further to the right. I should have cropped the image in the end.
I am still learning about what went wrong with the other images... its primarily either a faulty lx90 or my lack of understanding of its use thats causing the problem.
The telerscope has had major RA tracking issues since I got it... Initially I thought it was my alignment, which I have since learnt is not responsible. But...even after having the RA motor/encoder replaced, the fault was still there....so, this week I purchased a counterweight set in the hope that will make a difference and fix the inaccuracies I am having to reduce the amount of images I am losing.
